Someone buy a game involving bestiality, while it's illegal in his country to buy such content.
Your platform proposed him to buy the game, you are guilty of incentive to commit a crime.
You take your share on the transaction, you are guilty of concealment since that money come from a crime.
It's not more complicated than this.
Of course, you'll not be sent to jail right from the start.
At first you'll receive a proper letter presenting you the facts, and asking you to stop immediately.
If you don't comply, you'll receive a notification telling you that your company will be prosecuted. This open the gate to negotiation, offering you the possibility to just have to pay an expensive fine.
If you decline the negotiation, you'll be sentenced to a more expensive fine.
If you still haven't complied after all this, next time you'll receive the notification without prior warning, you'll not have the possibility to negotiate, and the sentence will not be limited to a fine.
Obviously, there's a parade to this, going all dark.
No company operating the platform, hiding the identity of everyone involved in the platform, working solely with crypto, relying on an account opened in a tax heaven for everything related to the platform, and hosting in a country that will not put the site down. With this, you can operate your platform, it will never be put down, and the chance that someone find a name are low...
But "low" doesn't mean "none-existent". Your platform will be suspicious as fuck, you'll have the police forces from all countries looking at it. Soon or later you'll make an error and they'll know who you are. And when they'll do, don't believe that you'll avoid jail, nor that you'll be there for less than a decade. You turned your platform into a mafia operation, you'll be sentenced like the head of a mafia organization.
It isn't, and have never been, a question of [whatever] trying to enforce its sense of morality.
What kind of morality is Patreon enforcing by banning none consensual sex and letting strong BDSM content exist as long as the consent is clearly expressed? Both are morally reprehensible in the same way in moral crusaders eyes.
Same for incest. What is the logic in banning it in the name of morality and letting cheating games exist?
No, from the starts its a question of people trying to enforce the Law. And it's why even SubscribeStar, despite its initial stance, finally complied. You can resist face to a moral crusade, but will always come a time when you've to comply face to the Law.
Seven years that Patreon have its loli/bestiality/none concensual/incest ban.
Seven years that I hear people say your "I feat it will only get worse".
Seven years that nothing have been added to the list.
It's the opposite that happened since, seven years ago you couldn't sell adult games on Steam.
As I said above, it's just the enforcement of the Law, nothing else. Now, does this enforcement the goes too far? Probably in part.
But, as I said in another thread, with devs like

who, among other charges, owned real life p*d*shit content, or
pers0nas who sexually assaults way too many underage girls, is it surprising that authorities starts to be afraid? They are a minority among adult games developers, the black sheep that no one want, but they exist and it's enough to cast suspicion on all the others.
Enough for the authorities to look at a game involving loli, or rape, and wonder if the author express a pure fantasy, or if he talk about something that he do in real life.
Enough too for the authorities to wonder if the game is just a game, or if it also serve to gather persons sharing the same real life practice.
In the end, enough for the authorities to want to prevent those particular games to exist.
Of course, even them aren't dumb enough to think that it will make the problem disappear. But if a game serve to gather persons sharing the same real life practice, how many people will turn what was only a fantasy into a real life practice, thanks to the new friends they made?
"Few", I totally agree on this. But even if it's just 0.1% of them, it's already 0.1% too many. Even if it's just one, it's one too many p*d*shit or rapist, and who know how many future victims...
Even if it's a p*d*shit who stay on
westy side, and only look at real life content without assaulting people, this real life content don't come from nowhere. There's underage girls and boys who are assaulted to produce them. One more viewer will not, by itself, create more victims, but it will keep the market running. And as long as the market is running, there will be new victims.
Obviously, 99,9% of us are totally innocent; perverts, but harmless ones. And it's what you are seeing, what you are focusing on, because it's what you are.
It's also what I am, but I've seen the other side. In the past I
(very modestly) contributed to fight it. And, believe me, the day you see for the first time a girl that probably wasn't older than 5 with a dick forced in her mouth, you want that no other girl have to live this.
And it's also what the authorities want, that no other girl have to live this. It's why they don't care about the 99,9% of us, why they don't care about the innocent collateral damage that we are. What they care about is the real possible victims, and they try, with the means at their disposal, to protect them.
And if this mean preventing harmless perverts to make, or play, games for which they already know that a tiny portion hide real life crimes, for them, but also for me and a majority of world, it's a small price to pay.
We can live without our virtual loli porn games. We can live without our virtual none consensual sex games. Not playing them will change absolutely nothing in our life. But the victims, whatever of p*d*shit, or of rapist, it's different. The ones that have the chance to still be alive after this, and with p*d*shit they aren't this many, will never ever be the same...
TL;DR:
You want to legally create and operate something that, by its nature and because of an extrem minority, will always be seen as illegal.
It shouldn't be seen that way, I totally agree on this. But as long as there's victims, it will be.
